Tracy and John: Engagement portraits in downtown DenverAugust 26, 2010
Yesterday I photographed the engagement portraits of Tracy and John, who are getting married later this year in Denver. Tracy is a wedding photographer, too, so it was a fun change for her to be on the other side of the camera. She and John completely lit up in each other’s arms, and I can’t wait to see them on their wedding day.

Adriana and Brian: Denver engagement portraitsJuly 15, 2010
Yesterday evening I met up with Adriana and Brian in Lodo for their engagement session. We scheduled the shoot so that we’d end up with some nighttime photos like this one, which of course I loved! Adriana and Brian are a playful and affectionate couple who were so easy to photograph. I can’t wait until their wedding in the mountains next month!

Erin and Gabriel: Wedding at St. Paul’s and the Doubletree HotelJuly 13, 2010
Erin and Gabe got married Saturday in Denver, and it was the kind of fun day that slips by too quickly. They had a dual Lutheran-Catholic ceremony at St. Paul’s Church downtown, and a reception at the Doubletree Hotel in Greenwood Village. Gabe is a photographer, too, so he made sure that they had some great photo opportunities throughout the day. They scheduled a break between the ceremony and reception, and explored a bar and a park downtown with their wedding party. I highly recommend this idea to future couples! Congratulations, Erin and Gabe! What a fun day!

Denver engagement portraits: Jane and BenJune 11, 2010
Jane and Ben are getting married next month in Denver. We spent yesterday evening wandering around the area of Denver near Confluence Park for their engagement portraits. They are a fun, easy-going couple, and their willingness to shoot in the rain really paid off — the sun came back out with stormy blue clouds and a rainbow!

Denver engagement portraits: Emily and AndrewMarch 30, 2010
Andrew and Emily are getting married in September the mountains of Colorado near where Andrew grew up. Because their wedding photos will feature the mountains, they wanted their engagement portraits to reflect their urban lifestyle. We met in Lower Downtown Denver and spent a couple hours walking around and enjoying all the fun architecture and dramatic sunlight. Thanks for being up for anything, Emily and Andrew! I look forward to your wedding!

Denver family portraitsSeptember 29, 2009
Yesterday was my first fall photo shoot of the year, and the colors were perfect. It was a beautiful day to walk around a park with Chris, Kaylene, and their eight-month-old daughter, Riley. They just moved to Colorado from southern California, so the autumn colors are a fun change for them.

Cable Center wedding: Margie and JasonSeptember 21, 2009
Margie and Jason got married on Saturday at the beautiful Cable Center on the campus of the University of Denver. I loved the contemporary architecture of the venue, especially its large windows and curving lines. As soon as I met Margie and Jason, I knew that they’d have a great party with friends who are just as fun as they are. Mike and I laughed all day long. I’d like to thank my assistant, Lindsey Zahalka, and my husband, Mike, for all their great work. I couldn’t do it without you! Congratulations, Margie and Jason, and thanks for making us feel like part of the family!

Mile High Station wedding: Nikki and AndrewSeptember 5, 2009
Yesterday I helped my friend Steve Tinetti as a second shooter at Nikki and Andrew’s wedding. They got married at Mile High Station in Denver, which is a contemporary venue in a renovated iron works building. Their wedding was stylish and sophisticated, with a ceremony that felt more like a cocktail party and a band that led a great dance party into the night. Thanks, Steve, for asking me to photograph with you!

Denver family portraitsAugust 17, 2009
I love it when families invite me back each year! I’ve had the great joy of watching Dorothy grow up over the last two years, since her first birthday. Her brother Eli turned one over the weekend, so I was thrilled when Adam and Linda asked me to photograph that milestone. Eli was just a tiny baby when I last saw him, so it was wonderful to see the sweet little boy he has become. You can see my earlier portraits of this completely cool family here: 2007, 2008 This time Adam’s sister Liz and her husband Don were in town and joined us for the portraits. They are adorable with their niece and nephew!

Karen and Jacynda: Mile High Station wedding in DenverAugust 5, 2009
On Sunday I photographed the beautiful commitment ceremony of Karen and Jacynda at Mile High Station. You might remember them from their engagement portraits earlier this summer. I loved how the details suited their contemporary style so beautifully, with a color scheme of black and silver. Karen and Jacynda wore gowns in shades of silver, and the overall look of the day was chic and modern. I’d like to send a big thank you to Tamera Goldsmith and Lindsey Zahalka for all their help that day. It’s always fantastic to work with them! Congratulations to the lovely Karen and Jacynda!

Leslie and Brian: Denver Art Museum weddingJuly 30, 2009
Leslie and Brian got married last weekend at the spectacular Denver Art Museum. The museum’s contemporary setting was a great choice for such a stylish and urban couple. You might remember Leslie and Brian from their engagement portraits in downtown Denver last month. Their wedding was just as chic and fashionable as they are, with a beautifully executed green and brown color scheme and lots of pretty details. My friend Tamera Goldsmith photographed their wedding with me. It’s always a blast to work with Tamera! Congratulations, Leslie and Brian! I hope you are having a wonderful time in Spain!

Keeley and Adam: El Jebel Shrine wedding in DenverJuly 12, 2009
Yesterday I was the second shooter for a wedding with my good friend Brad Walters. It was my first day shooting with my new Canon 5D Mark II camera, so I was excited to have a chance to try it out. This camera is known for its ability to perform beautifully at high ISO, which really suits my preference for natural light photography. The church and reception venue yesterday were both quite dark, so I photographed much of the day at ISO 4000. The results are excellent, and I’m really happy with my new camera. One of my favorite things about second shooting is the freedom to take lots of pictures of the children at weddings. When I’m the primary shooter, I don’t have much time to play with the kiddos, but yesterday I made sure to take lots of pictures of the many cuties in attendance. Thanks, Brad, for asking me to shoot with you!

Karen and Jacynda: Engagement portraits in downtown DenverJune 28, 2009
Yesterday evening I met Karen and Jacynda in the riverfront area of Denver for their engagement session. After weeks of rainy photo shoots, I was thrilled with yesterday’s gorgeous sunny weather. It was the perfect day to walk around downtown with this fun couple. I really admire Karen and Jacynda for their work with abused and neglected teenagers. I used to work in an adolescent group home, so I know how challenging and meaningful their careers can be. I had a blast with them yesterday, and I’m really looking forward to their commitment ceremony later this summer!

Leslie and Brian: Engagement portraits at the Denver Center for the Performing ArtsJune 26, 2009
This has been a season of rain here in Colorado! Leslie and Brian had hoped to walk around downtown Denver for their engagement session yesterday, but a heavy rainfall sent us for cover at the Denver performing arts center. It turned out to be a great location for urban-style outdoor portraits, complete with a roof over our heads. Leslie and Brian are getting married next month in Denver, and after yesterday’s fun photo shoot, I know it’s going to be a great wedding.

Liz and Brian: Engagement portraits in Morrison and Red RocksMay 23, 2009
Liz and Brian are getting married next March in Vail. They live in Texas, so their guests are going to love the gorgeous Colorado scenery when they come for the wedding. We decided to showcase some of that scenery for their engagement session yesterday, to give their friends and families an idea of what to expect next year. We started with some photos in the cute little town of Morrison, and then we headed to nearby Red Rocks park. Thank you, Liz and Brian! I can’t wait until the wedding!

Linda, Adam, Dorothy, and Eli: Family portraits in downtown DenverNovember 7, 2008
Last year I photographed this incredibly fun family to commemorate Dorothy’s first birthday. This year she has a new baby brother! I had such a good time with them last year that I was really excited when they asked me to come back and photograph their growing family. You can see last year’s portrait session here. Dorothy has grown so much, and it was adorable to see her with her little brother.

Kristen and Eric: Denver wedding at Holy Ghost Church and Phipps Tennis PavilionOctober 21, 2008
I couldn’t decide which photo better revealed their personalities, so I decided to post both! Kristen and Eric are a fun-loving, hilarious couple who are also very devout in their Catholic faith. These two aspects of their personalities led to a wedding day that was elegantly profound as well as totally wacky. I loved the combination! I had a blast with Kristen and Eric during our engagement session earlier this year. They keep me laughing! They lucked out on Saturday, with a perfect 80-degree day with vibrant autumn colors. Thanks so much for asking me to be a part of your wedding, Kristen and Eric! I hope you’re having a great time on your Caribbean honeymoon! Thanks also to my friend Holly Pacione for shooting this wedding with me!

Kristen and EricJune 30, 2008
Last week I met up with Kristen and Eric in Morrison for their engagement portraits. When I first met Kristen, I had a feeling that she would be fun to photograph, and I was right! She and Eric keep each other laughing and I love their playful spirit. Kristen and Eric, I had a great time, and can’t wait to do it all again in October!
